Ancestral Money
Hiss~
Is this the advantage of owning a used car? This is way too proactive! Is the service really this thorough? Now that things have come to this point, I have to stay calm. I absolutely cannot use this stolen used car to drive fast.

Uchiha Clan Compound, Clan Meeting Room~
"What? Call my grandfather up here to pay taxes? Who came up with such a childless idea? I disagree!" My grandfather was just a Genin ninja who had awakened One-Tomoe in his lifetime. Even if he came up here to pay taxes now, he wouldn't gain much. I have to object and see if I can get more compensation. Otherwise, my family will suffer too much.
"I agree with Yanmen's statement. Since my father has passed away, let him rest in peace. The dead should not interfere in the lives of the living." Mother, this is all I can do for you. After all, Father has been dead for half a year, and you were still able to conceive and give birth to me. Even if you attribute this to extraordinary talent, it can't be explained away. Uncle Run Di probably doesn't want this Dream Fulfillment Plan to happen either, right?
"Tie Shu is right. Yingzi has had a tough time these past few years. Tie Shu is also a good kid I raised with my own help. If we bring Tu Huo up, I'm afraid he might do something irreversible." Forgive me, Tu Huo. Brother, I only made this mistake because I saw how hard it was for my sister-in-law to live alone.
"Hmph~ You bunch of rotten apples, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The Dream Fulfillment Plan is a welfare subsidy for the entire clan, how dare you morally corrupt people question it? Clan Chief, I support the Dream Fulfillment Plan." His own Mangekyo Sharingan's Dōjutsu weren't particularly strong to begin with, and directly activating Susanoo against enemies would consume too much ocular power. If he could bring along all his relatives, wouldn't his prosperous days be far away?
Moreover, Yuna will be enrolling in school in a few years, and I'll need to accumulate some Dojutsu Power to help her awaken her eyes. Speaking of which, should I have a second child with Mika? Yuna is a girl, after all, and she can't inherit my Uchiha Inabi's political legacy. Besides, with those Mangekyou Mangekyo, it would be such a pity if my lineage didn't have a male heir.
"Inabi, you're just a yes-man for the clan leader. Can't you have some opinions of your own? The plan can be carried out, but it'll cost more money~" My precious grandson is about to graduate, it's time to get him a new Chakra ninja tool. I absolutely cannot be outdone by that old bastard Uchiha U. I can't let my grandson suffer.
"Elder Ling, isn't it inappropriate to use the corpse of our ancestor to pay extra? Don't you know that everything I, the clan leader, have done is to allow our clansmen to reunite with our ancestors? Is this how you treat my sincere Susanoo? Are you all trying to bully my Fugaku, Fugaku?" A surge of astonishing eye power erupted, and the armored giant instantly burst through the roof, obscuring the vision of the elite clansmen.
"Me too~" As a staunch supporter of the clan leader's lineage, Uchiha Inabi also activated a slightly enhanced version of Susanoo.
"You... you all, you only know how to bully us because we don't have the Mangekyō Sharingan, is that it?" Again, it's that hateful Susanoo, that hateful Mangekyo hegemony. When will my Third Elder lineage be able to stand up again!
Uchiha U's face darkened as he looked at the two giants, one large and one small, before him.
"You can't say that. How can you call it bullying? Our Uchiha Clan's tradition has always been to respect the strong and let the strong control the discourse. Third Elder, if you could awaken the Mangekyo, Fugaku would be very pleased. Unfortunately, judging from Shiseido's current talent, the chances are slim. He can't even beat Wu Yang." Looking at his grandson slave in front of him, Uchiha Fugaku rubbed salt into the wound without giving him any face.
"Fugaku... you~you!" Uchiha Clan ~Situ~Wang Lang~Mao clutched his chest in heartache, his vision blurred, and in the haze he seemed to see his great-grandmother waving at him.
"Elder Mao, you need to reflect on this. Chakra tools are ultimately external objects. Do you really expect to stop bleeding by using Chakra tools to open your eyes?" Seeing that the old man looked like he could be dismissed at any moment, Uchiha Inabi added a timely remark.
"Pfft~ You brat, you've gone too far! As long as I, Uchiha U, live, this Dream Fulfillment Plan won't pass without extra funding! Hmph!" Why didn't you know to provide Chakra ninja tools for Hemostasis? Isn't it because you know your grandson's talent is lacking?
Hmph, so what if you awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan? You weren't this arrogant before you Uchiha Inabi, awakened your Sharingan.
"It's impossible to raise the price. The price I offered is already very fair. Besides, this is a sure-fire deal. Elder Mao, don't push your luck." To think that this kind of thing could be so stubborn, Uchiha U, that old man, really has no scruples left when it comes to stopping his grandson's bleeding.
"That's right, the Fugaku clan is doing this entirely for everyone's sake. If Elder Mao feels it's inappropriate, then we won't disturb the peace of Elder Mao's ancestors." This old guy's ancestors only had one or two fairly strong individuals. Although it's a pity, compared to the total number of the entire Uchiha Clan, it's still insignificant. They want to push their luck with such a small amount of benefit? They're really old fools who can't see the situation clearly. Fugaku is just too lenient with them.
"Inabi, you disrespectful brat! I've put up with you for too long. When your father Cao Huo, comes up here, I'll make sure he teaches you a lesson." Leave me out? Dream on. Judging from their attitude, this price is probably their bottom line. Oh well, less profit is fine.
"Hmph, if my father knew I had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he'd probably be even more arrogant than me. As the third elder of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha U, don't you understand the traditional character of the Uchiha Clan?" Hmph, do you really think my father is a timid person? He's just weak and doesn't want to get involved in the disputes between the clan head and elders.
"Give us a straight answer, agree or not. If you don't agree, we'll skip the Third Elder's lineage." Seeing that his intimidation had been achieved, Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly withdrew the massive Susanoo for putting on a show to scare people; only that beast Uchiha Gen could afford to keep it running.
"Why are you being so fierce? I was just discussing things. If you don't want to pay more, then forget it. As the third elder of the Uchiha Clan, I was only trying to get more benefits for the clan. My intentions were good." Faced with Uchiha Fugaku's questioning, the third elder could only politely admit defeat. Alas, what could he do when his lineage didn't have Mangekyo Sharingan to protect him?
"Seeking personal gain? Is it appropriate for you to try and gain from me? Does messing with Uchiha Fugaku mean I'm no longer a member of the Uchiha Clan? Am I some stepmother's child? Why don't you ever try to gain any benefits for me?" You old fool, you think I can't handle you?
